ABSTRACT

Genomic diversity in four accessions of self-pollinated velvet bean- Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. (comprising of varieties pruriens and utilis) were analyzed at the genomic DNA level using RAPD and ISSR primers. Both these analyses have indicated polymorphism among these strains. Absolute monomorphic patterns could not be obtained from any of the primers used in this study. The present study strongly indicated that the variety pruriens is genetically more diverse than the variety utilis. The UPGMA cluster analysis of both the RAPD and ISSR data also clearly revealed the close relatedness of all the 3 strains of the variety utilis. The only strain of variety pruriens is most distantly related to all the three strains of the other variety (var utilis). Keywords: DNA; Genome; ISSR; Mucuna; RAPD
